This is part of the Columns View, if you add a numeric field to your table
and don't provide any Length or Precision then :
numeric_precisi on is returned as 65535
numeric_scale is returned as 65531
Is this what you'd expect, and what does it mean to create a column with
no Length or Precision, I'm using pgAdmin to create the tables and
columns, but the tables are created and seem to work.

Yeah, that's what you'd get for a numeric field with no length
constraint. (I suspect varchar with no length constraint will
display funny as well.)
The SQL spec doesn't allow unconstrained lengths for these types
so it gives no guidance about what to display in the information_sch ema
views. Any opinions?

It might make some sense to use the maximum length supported by the type
for the precision. The documentations says that numeric is limited to
1000 digits.
If there isn't a set scale for the type, then NULL would probably make the
most sense.

Nope. Indexes are not a concept used in the SQL spec at all (they
consider 'em an implementation detail), so they'd hardly want to
standardize a view to describe 'em.
You can look at the constraints views to find out about unique and
primary key constraints, which are implemented by indexes in PG.
But that won't tell you about indexes made by CREATE INDEX.

After more thought I like returning NULL for both precision and scale in
the case of unconstrained numeric columns. Any other value is
arbitrary. In particular, the 1000 cited in the docs is *very*
arbitrary, and I don't think it actually constrains what you can store,
only what you can declare as a column precision. [tries it...] Yup,
I can store "power(10.0 , 10000)" in an unconstrained numeric column.
It seems to fail around 10^140000 but I'm not sure where that limit
is coming from exactly...

Hi There,
just moved over from SQL Server to mySQL and finding my way about. In
SQL Server there was a way of retrieving (and setting) metaproperties
for columns and tables. The closest I see to this is the
TABLES.table_comment COLUMNS.column_comment fields in the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA 'Database'.
How do you set these values? Seems like you cannot amend values within
these tables. I am using version 5.0.27.
